The Top 5 Myths About Men On Dating Apps In Singapore

Wah I got a match on Paktor! – Classic right? Everybody’s getting ‘Matches’ these days. Being the only guy (Btw I’m straight – just a disclaimer) at the table… they started bombarding me with all the questions about guys.

“Eh when guys use dating apps means they quite desperate right…?”
“Guys just use dating apps to hook-up right??”
“Wah… why guys only message hi- so unoriginal, no creativity, no effort!

And the list goessssssss on…. and on…

After about a half hour into it, I decided to do my fellow male ‘comrades’ on Paktor a favour:

To debunk the top 5 myths about men on dating apps.

#Myth 1 – Men on Dating Apps: WAH ALL SO Desperate

Eh hello, hello girls. That’s too much of a sweeping statement. That’s as good as saying – guys who go to a bar are desperate. *face palm*

Suffice to say, there’s a sizeable number of guys who aren’t desperate and just exploring their options on dating apps like Paktor.

Then again, some people would disagree. My rebuttal (for the guys) – if you think we are desperate why you still go out with us?? HUH??? HUH??? HUH??? Wouldn’t that make you just as desperate?

#Myth 2– Men who show abs: MUST BE ONLY looking to hook-up

Whoever made this statement ought to be shot. Seriously. Just ‘cos a guy is topless on his profile picture and showing off his abs doesn’t mean he’s just looking to hook-up! It’s almost as good as saying – Oh that girl wants to hook-up just because she’s wearing a short skirt or showing some cleavage.

Hot or not has nothing to do with being a player, or PLAYAAAA. Being hot just means you get a whole lot more of stares or getting into situations where you will see more people walking into a lamp post and falling into the drain. But that’s it!

Quit listening to your R&B and Hip Hop lyrics about hot guys hooking up all the time.

Please hor, don’t be hatin’ cos you can’t get the guy.

#Myth 4 – Men with dogs in their profile photo:

If you’re choosing a guy based on him having a dog and thus having a common interest – I got nothing to say. But if you’re choosing a guy with a dog in his profile picture because he looks loving… my question to you then becomes… does a pet means he’s loving? Or going to be loving?
